Academic Advising

We are here to help with questions! Ask us about your degree requirements, campus student services, the best way to get into a degree program and any other academic concerns. Our advising appointments allow you to chat with an advisor who can lead you in the right direction.

Please note that during COVID-19, all student advising will take place via Zoom or over the phone.

Students requiring advising should send a request for an appointment to lapsanth@yorku.ca. A staff member will respond to arrange an appointment time.
